Movie studio garage sale draws big crowds

Michigan Motion Pictures Studios in Pontiac is holding a two-day garage sale that features hundreds of movie props, set decorations, pieces of art, costumes and a few classic cars.

More than 100 people lined the sidewalk of the studio’s property for the start of the sale, which kicked off at 10 a.m. on Friday, July 14 and runs until 4 p.m. today. The sale is also open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 15 at Gate 2 of the studio, located at 1999 Centerpoint Parkway in Pontiac.

Items from movies such as “Oz The Great and Powerful,” “Real Steel,” “Black Sky,” “Transformers 4,” “Transformers 5,” and “Batman vs Superman,” will be on sale including dishes and silverware, dressers, couches, chairs, tables, artwork and lighting fixtures. The sale is cash-only.

Williams International LLC announced last month that it would buy the old movie studio property, investing $344.5 million into creating a new headquarters and manufacturing facility on the site.
